PennDOT is looking for the public to review and comment on the 2050 Freight Movement Plan.
The document is a comprehensive strategic plan for moving goods throughout the state, and is updated every four years. It provides information on Pennsylvania’s freight infrastructure and PennDOT’s efforts to improve the safe and efficient movement of freight. PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll said in a statement that with Pennsylvania being the gateway to the Northeast, it’s important that people contribute to the plan to improve how freight is moved through the communities.
An approved and up-to-date freight plan ensures that Pennsylvania remains eligible for federal funding provided under the National Highway Freight Program following expected federal reauthorization.
The draft plan is available on PennDOT’s website. To provide comment, send an email to RA-PD2050_FMP@pa.gov or call 717-705-1478.
